Pet friendly design. The new 121,000-square-foot campus for Mars Petcare's U.S. Development Center pays homage to the company's pet-friendly culture. In an effort to enhance the firm's fondness for furry friends, GS&P's environmental graphics group, working with our interior designers, took it upon themselves to truly understand Mars' vision for the space. Frisbee-shaped signs identify conference rooms, dog tags serve as personnel nameplates, and oversized animal graphics greet visitors and employees. The pet-centric culture was incorporated into standard building features with elements of nature and images of pets throughout. The space is a creative and innovative solution to achieve Mars' vision: a place where pets and employees are both welcome.
